FM-DX-peditions in Utö-island in SW-Finland and in Virolahti in SE-Finland

Saturday, 6 June 2015

Sat 6.6.2015 - Whole Saturday empty band

Snakeskin cable

Saturday did not give anything for FM. A lot of meteors hitting ionosphere all the time. On an empty monitored frequency there is almost all the time signal burst from short flashes to several seconds.

Half of the crew (OSY, MB, JTK, JY) runs "Utö-marathon" (5,2 km / about 28 minutes) every morning at 9. This morning the crew encounted big snake on the ground. There are a lot of snakes in this island so it is a bit dangerous to run here.
Here is a photo of snakeskin in HKU's hands, found Fri evening.
